It is a reusable, design-time entity that integrates seamlessly into `Menu` structures ## Key features
The MenuItem includes several important properties that integrate seamlessly within the Menu structure. The enabled property determines whether the menu item is interactive. The iconStyleClass and styleClass properties allow the application of specific styling to the item's icon and general appearance, complementing the Menu's overall design. The name property uniquely identifies the menu item, while the permissions property ensures security and visibility control by restricting access based on user roles. The text property displays the menu item content and supports HTML and localized text for dynamic customization. Additionally, the toolTipText property provides rich, formatted hover text, enhancing user experience and maintaining consistency with the parent Menu.
